The German Chancellor Friedrich Merz delivered a strong message at the Bundestag ahead of the European Council in Brussels, emphasizing the importance of Europe's unity in the face of global challenges. With a Europe that has 100 million more inhabitants than the USA, Merz stated that the EU must no longer sell itself below its real value and must act united to secure its future.

In his speech, he addressed ongoing wars and criticized the great powers' use of force, particularly the Trump administration, which did not consult the European Union regarding conflicts in the Middle East. Merz advocated for a more competitive Europe and promised that Germany would contribute to securing the Strait of Hormuz, but only after the conflict ends. He also highlighted the need for internal reforms to revitalize Germany's economy and reduce bureaucracy, advocating for the simplification of regulations at the European level.
